Galaxy Tablet Reboot Trick

Has your Galaxy Tablet suddenly shut off? Are you going crazy trying to find out how to get it to turn back on? Tired of searching through the junk pages on the internet for the right answer to fix your galaxy tablet and get it to reset? Keep reading, the secret Galaxy Tablet Reboot Trick is just below

Christmas 2012 I bought my 7 and 10 year old daughters the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 2 after one of their iPods was dropped (accidentally) while by being passed between my 7 year old and my 19 year old daughters. After hitting the kitchen floor, the screen was completely crushed, along with lil’ ones heart! She loved her iPod and used it very much.

I was just going to get her another iPod, but with all the Christmas sales going on I was able to get the 7″ Samsung Galaxy Tablet 2 for only $160 with accessories….Hello! Mama didn’t raise no fool!! I went and grabbed two of them, price matched them at my local Best Buy, and used a sweet 10% coupon to boot!

Anyways, that’s not what this post was about. But I thought I would let you know how long we’ve had them before I went into the first issue we’ve had with them so far.

Two days ago, my daughter told me that her tablet just froze. I suggested she to put it to charge over night and we’d check it in the morning.

No luck. It still was not turning on, no matter what we tried there was just a black screen. I tried to hold down the power button to see if it would restart it, or some how reset itself. Again, no luck. I Googled the problem we were having, and of course there was 10,000 tips – most did not work or they were just sites with a bunch of Google ads on them.

Finally, I came across a site that had a few suggestions on it. I scrolled down and just picked one…and it worked!!! Actually, it did not work when I did it, but the magical hands of my little Maria got it to. So I figured why not share this little trick with you!

What to do if your Samsung Galaxy Tablet won’t turn on

Press and hold the power button while touching the screen at the same time. You may have to wait up to 30 seconds as it clears the system. You should notice the logo or battery indicator pop up as it starts. The Tablet will then reboot and everything should be back to normal.

Ta da! That’s the BIG secret to getting your Galaxy Tablet to Reboot.

Had the same problem. The tab would not turn on or charge. Tried about every possible solution that a human brain can come up with without going insane and then I got it FIXED! I did the remove battery/put battery back in solution suggested by another member. I then connected it to the Samsung charger and voila! It started charging again. Word of advice: Do NOT let it completely run out of battery. This is what caused mine to go into a virtual coma.

Awesome, mine froze up and wouldn’t do a thing. An app caused it to freeze up and the screen went black. It wouldn’t turn on or off. I charged it and tried to turn it on while charging, while not charging. Nothing worked
I tried your tip and after holding down the power button while touching the screen after about 15 seconds it turned on and reset.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you soooo much! My tablet was turned on but frozen and could not shut it off or reboot it. My daughter was driving me crazy because she wanted to play her games and I just couldn’t figure it out until I came by your posting. Thank you. It worked and now she can finally play.

Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, terrific blog!Barton Maheux recently posted..Barton Maheux

~Thank you so much! My tablet wouldn’t turn on, so I decided to leave it on the charger, believing that it was completely dead. The next morning when I woke up, it still wouldn’t turn on. After searching for about 10 minutes with no solutions, I suddenly stumbled across your blog and found the perfect answer.~ <3

OMG. Thank you. Really. You’re a life saver.
I tried charging my tablet and the charger connects but when I tried to turn on my tablet, the logo freezes. I’ve been searching on Google what is the trick to turned it on and when I run into your website. The method actually works.
